Editorial principles and publishing standards

Every story is based on an official source published by the company concerned: its verified official X account, its official blog or newsroom, its help centre, developer documentation or product pages, or an official filing or regulator release where the story is regulatory.

Reporting by other media, aggregators, forums, screenshots or rumours is never treated as a source on its own. If a development is only reported by third parties, we do not publish it until the company or the relevant authority confirms it in an official channel.

Before publication we read the complete official announcement and the terms that govern it, and check names, figures, dates, regional availability, eligibility, fees and end dates against that source.

Claims are attributed to the company that made them. We do not claim to have tested products ourselves unless a story says so. Where evidence is unclear or cannot be accessed, the story is held back or the unclear point is left out.

Stories are written in our own words and explain the announcement for a general reader; we do not republish press releases. Every story links to its official sources at the end of the article.

Images are official artwork published by the company, credited to it under the image. We do not use images that show QR codes, wallet addresses, personal usernames or deposit screens.

Each story shows the date it was first published on Exchange.news and, separately, the date of the official announcement. If a story is materially updated, it also shows the date of the update. We do not change publication dates to make a story look newer.

Our newsroom uses software to monitor official sources and to help draft stories, including AI writing assistance. Every story is checked against its official sources before publication, and the same standards apply however a draft was prepared.

Partner relationships do not decide what we cover or how. We report security incidents, regulatory actions and service changes in the same way as launches, and we also cover platforms with which we have no partner relationship. We do not publish paid or sponsored stories.

Referral links and codes are disclosed and shown in separate, labelled offer boxes. See the affiliate disclosure.

Mistakes are corrected openly on the same page. How this works is described in the corrections policy.
